The Montreal Metro is a rubber-tired metro system, and the main form of public transportation underground in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The Metro, operated by the Societe de transport de Montreal (STM), was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, during the tenure of Mayor Jean Drapeau. Originally consisting of 26 stations on three separate lines, the Metro now incorporates 68 stations on four lines measuring 65.33 km (40.59 mi) in length, serving the north, east, and centre of the Island of Montreal with connections to Longueuil, via the Yellow Line, and Laval, via the Orange line. The metro system is currently Canada's second longest and second in total annual passenger usage, serving 289.1 million riders a year (transfers not included); according to the STM website, the metro system has transported over 6 billion passengers as of 2006, roughly equivalent to the world's population. The Montreal Metro was inspired by the Paris Metro and in turn is also the inspiration for the Lyon Metro, constructed a few years later, which shares the same rubber-wheel car design and Montreal Metro station architecture.

Lava tubes are natural conduits through which lava travels beneath the surface of a lava flow, expelled by a volcano during an eruption. They can be actively draining lava from a source, or can be extinct, meaning the lava flow has ceased and the rock has cooled and left a long, cave-like channel.

The Twins Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, first took place in 1976, and it has grown and become more and more famous ever since. The attendees every year run the range of ages from newborns to octogenarians.

This is a very bizarre dancer optical illusion. At first glance the spinning lady appears to be circling in a clockwise motion. But if you look at the spinning dancer long enough - the lady will appear to change direction and start spinning counter-clockwise.

For me the switch didn't just happen - I had to look at her shadow and picture it going counter-clockwise. After about a minute, my brain flipped and the lady just started spinning backwards. Actually - I can't seem to convince my brain to get her to start going clockwise again. But it is pretty wild when you see the switch happen.

This spinning illusion has also been referred to as a Right Brain vs. The Left Brain challenge.

This rooster was named Bigfoot, he was a barred rock, and one of the best we had for hypnotizing. It's a pretty simple trick to do, but it doesn't work on all chickens. Watch the videos after the jump, they are really funny))

This is an interesting catch...goes to show we need to keep an eye out the next time we're out there fishing in the Bay! Some pretty good pics and story from some friends. If not for the pictures, no one would ever believe it. Talk about a fish tale!

Last Saturday morning, my buddy Bo Warren and I were trolling for stripers in the Bay. We were 1Ѕ miles offshore in about 80 feet of water contemplating why the fish weren't biting. We looked back to check our gear and saw something odd in the water. Was it a seal?? Can't be, we don't have seals around here. On closer look, it turned out to be a buck deer that was WAY off course. He was desperate and barely staying afloat.

A wheelchair user has been taken for a high-speed ride along a US highway after his handlebars became tangled up in the front grille of a lorry. The back of Ben Carpenter's wheelchair was scooped up as he passed in front of a lorry leaving a petrol station. The driver was completely unaware that he had a new passenger, kept in his wheelchair by a seatbelt. Passing motorists told police, who found the man unhurt - but still attached to the front of the truck.
